Two weeks passed by in a flash, summer break had officially started for the students of Grandline State University, Zoro was packing his stuff last minute and trying to hurry up before Nami and Vivi come by and pick him up. The last thing he needed to have was Nami yelling or smacking the shit out of his head.
Speak of the devil, his phone was buzzing, he dug it out of his pocket to see a text from Nami.
"From: Little Witch at 12:15PM
You have 5 minutes to finish packing, were almost to your dorm"
Zoro rubbed his face at the threat, thankfully he was almost done, it helped that his kendo equipment was already neatly bound together. He was packing the last of his clothes and then went to put the final shirt in, the shirt of his favorite band that came in the mail yesterday. Zoro was panicked when he got the email after the day everyone was together saying,
"Customer Roronoa Zoro,
We apologize for the notice, order #11090505 has been delayed, for more information click this link below"
He wanted to smack his face when he first got it, but after waiting, he finally placed the last shirt in his suitcase. Exactly 2 minutes later he heard knocking at his door.
He picked up his kendo bag and suitcase and walked towards the door, opening the door, he was greeted by Nami and her girlfriend Vivi.
"That's everything your bringing Zoro?" Nami looked at his suitcase with a skeptical look.
"I don't need to bring a whole store with me for a trip Nami," Nami rolled her eyes at the remark.
"Well we have a huge R.V. so you can put your stuff in the back, you're the first one we picked up too, so you get first dibs on where to sit," Vivi told Zoro as she gave him a brief side-hug to say hello and then went to pop open the trunk for Zoro.
When Zoro walked into the R.V. he looked around and was impressed at the quality of the vehicle, "Nice R.V. Vivi," Zoro briefly said before he found the couch towards the back; In no time he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the cushion.
When Zoro woke up again, it was due to Usopp and Chopper fighting over the last seat, he saw everyone already in the vehicle as well.
It was starting to get on his nerves, (as if he wasn't a short fuse anyway when it came to his friends) he just wanted to nap the whole way, or at least most of it.
"Usopp didn't he help you get an 'A' on your last assignment, let him choose where he wants to sit before I make you sit with me." Zoro saw Usopp roll his eyes and let Chopper take the seat.
"Thanks, bro," Chopper got settled and now everything was ready to go. Nami will be in control of directions, while Franky and Jinbe will take turns driving.
"Okay guys get comfortable, Dawn Island is roughly 12 hours away, maybe 10 if we don't run into idiots on the road," Nami told the others in the back.
Franky was the first to drive, Jinbe was going to nap so he can have energy for his turn, and Chopper was playing a 3-way hand-console game with Usopp and Sanji. Robin and Brook were both reading their respective books, and Vivi was also napping so she can take over for Nami when they take a break.
Now that Zoro knows that his friends are all busy, he felt at ease, now on to take a nap.

"So how long are you staying here?" a voice that didn't have a face started speaking, the voice sounded comforting and loving.
"I think the whole summer, I go back to school for the last time around September, " Zoro spoke to the anonymous figure.
"Well make sure to come back, I'll miss you, you're the first company I personally had in a while," Zoro looked at them, he grabbed their hand, and held it.
"I promise," after those words were spoken all there was left was a light giggle.
.

"Zoro, you might want to wake up before Sanji hits you," a gruff voice was talking
"What?" Zoro was trying to process what he heard
"You warned him Jinbe, at least you tried... NOW WAKE UP MARIMO" and just after that, Zoro woke up to an unpleasantly familiar kick to his side.
"SHIT-BROWS! EVER HEARD OF SHAKING SOMEONE AWAKE?!" Zoro yelled at the blond's face.
"Alright! that's enough boys," Robin closed her book and looked at the two rivals smiling.
"You unsurprisingly slept the whole time Zoro, we're here, help us take our stuff into the house," Nami said as she walked out hand in hand with Vivi.
Zoro sighed, he couldn't get peace for 5 minutes. After a few hours, everyone was completely settled in.
After Sanji cooked everyone and meal, everyone went their separate ways for the night. Zoro was in his room, he immediately opened the window doors towards the balcony. Feeling the nice weather around him, he genuinely felt relaxed, Vivi's beach house had amazing scenery.
'Oh shit," Zoro's eyes widened in surprise, towards the city Zoro was able to see a statue. Standing proud as the 3 lovely boys from Dawn Island were D3. Ace had a bass guitar in his hands, Sabo was on the drums, and Luffy was in the front with his guitar. They were built to perfection in his eyes, while he respected Ace and Sabo, he couldn't help but only look at Luffy's smiling figure.
After realizing he was outside for too long, Zoro went to relax in his bed.
"Now what was that dream I had earlier?" he asked himself as he closed his eyes again for the night.
"Shishishi-" Zoro sat up and furrowed his brows at the noise, after picking the wax he had in his ear, he laid back down to sleep...
Wondering what's to come tomorrow.

A/N: Okay! Chapter 2 is done, sorry if the driving scene felt a bit fast-paced, it was hard to write dialogue for all the members save for Luffy. Now..what will love-struck Zoro (even if he won't admit it) dream about? Will the main boy appear soon???? who knows?

Walking down the road with an umbrella in hand, Roronoa Zoro, a college student was currently listening to his favorite band while the rain poured down heavily on him and his friends.
"I still can't believe that this campus doesn't allow cars on school grounds." Nami, one of Zoro's friends was complaining as her shoes were getting wet. The others walking with him were his friends, Usopp, Tony (but everyone calls him Chopper), Jinbe and..... Sanji... if he can consider that dumbass a friend, yeah...over his dead body.
"It's okay Nami, I'll shield you from the rain." said the dumbass swooning over the redhead, Zoro sighed and turned the volume up on his phone so he can drown out Sanji's words.
He was listening to his favorite band, 'D3', a band that didn't stick to one genre, He was happy because he recently manage to buy a limited edition shirt that has the member's autographs on it.
It wasn't long before Zoro and his friends made it to campus, while they were all drying off, he saw a few more friends walk up.
3 staff members of the college came and greeted the almost-soaked bunch. The tall raven-haired woman, Robin smiled at all of them.
"I'm assuming none of you guys saw the weather warning and that classes were canceled today," Robin said with a small smile, in just seconds the group of young adults were sulking.
"My shoes are wet and I didn't even need to be here," Nami said as she found a chair to sit on in the campus lobby to wring out whatever she can out of her shoes. Meanwhile, Usopp and Sanji were checking their phones to see the message from the school.
Brook, the school's music professor just started laughing at the group, "Why don't we go to my classroom and warm up with some tea? Might as well wait until the weather calms down."
Franky, the school's number one handyman, went to get blankets from his 'stash' for everyone since they would be hanging out for a while. In a few minutes, everyone was in Brook's classroom making their selves comfortable.
"Wait, so if classes were canceled, why are you guys here?" Usopp asked aloud.
Franky and Robin were cuddled with each other, while Brook was still making tea for everyone. "Robin always shows up early for work, so I go with her and nap in her classroom before class starts, Brook is here because he's an early bird too and just happens to live 5 minutes away from campus," Franky answered the question.
The others just nodded, Usopp decided to work on homework he totally didn't put off last minute.
"Usopp? You guys didn't finish Professor Smoker's homework didn't you?" Chopper sighed as he grabbed his notebook from his backpack and went over to help him.
Everyone was doing their own thing, Zoro was napping still listening to his music before he felt someone kick his leg...hard.
"OW! What the hell Curly-brow!" Zoro yelled as he grabbed his knee, he took off his earbuds to glare at the man. Sanji just rolled his eyes and took out his vape to take a hit.
"Nami was asking you something moss-head," Sanji said as he blew smoke out of his mouth. Nami just rolled her eyes at the two, "Anyway, I was asking you Zoro, what are you doing for summer break? This is the last summer we have before we graduate."
Zoro thought, he didn't really have friends or family outside of the friend groups that were sitting with him currently. "Not much, the only thing eventful thing happening to me is that my shirt is coming in the mail in a few days," Zoro said plainly.
Nami smiled, Zoro was always like an annoying older brother to her, it was nice to see him be passionate about other things besides his kendo training, even if it was a band.
"It's sad, they were all our ages when they passed," Chopper commented while he was trying to help Usopp with his final assignment still.
Ah yes, Zoro's favorite band, all the members are dead due to a boating accident which led the three brothers to drown 2 years ago.
"The frontman was your favorite right Zoro? Ah, what was his name?" Brook asked as he tried to remember the names of the three younger artists.
"Luffy, his brothers were Ace and Sabo," Zoro replied solemnly, the group looked at him. They remembered how destroyed Zoro was when he heard of their passing in class a few years ago, even though Zoro would never admit it.
"Well Zoro, luckily for you my amazing Vivi, planned an outing for all of us for our summer break. Her family has a huge beach house on Dawn Island, that's the place where they were born weren't they?" Nami said with a knowing smile on her face.
To say Zoro was surprised about that would be saying the sky wasn't blue, he was interested from the first part of the offer but now that he has a chance to go see Luffy's home island. "Sure, why not?" he replied calmly even though his friends knew he was ecstatic on the inside.
"Well, there's only one week of classes left? When do we plan on going?" Robin asked Nami.
"I'll send you guys more detailed information in our group chat, but Vivi said roughly in 2 weeks," Nami answered.
Chopper was excited, he was shaking Usopp with happiness, out of the years they all knew each other, this is their first vacation together!
Sanji didn't need any convincing because "the ladies" were going, and Jinbe was happy as well, Jinbe hasn't been to a beach in so long.
Robin and Franky were happy since it will be a nice vacation for them and their friends, working on campus was draining.
"You would like it there too Brook! Vivi's family has the biggest music room I have ever seen." Nami told the older man.
"Well if you insist, Yohoho" he laughed.
Well, it was set, Zoro and his friends were going on vacation and he will get to see Luffy and his brothers home.
The weather was clearing up as they were finishing their conversation, and everyone decided to go home since it was the only chance they got before the weather gets crazy again, or at least according to Nami.
By the time Zoro got home, he was sleepy (like always). Before he knew it, he was already snoring on the couch of his dorm.
